Travis went on alert. Veronica had told him that her family in Montana hadn’t approved of ménage lifestyles but mentioned that she’d been at Cord and Jackson’s engagement party. Two brothers announcing their engagement at the same party had to mean a ménage. “Yes. Why?”

“Good. We have that in common. You’ll take care of her then? Protect her?”

“For as long as she’ll let us.”

“How long is she planning to stay in Divine?”

“She’s extending her stay until December.”

“She’s planning to stay, presumably to work and to spend time with you. And you’ve got Grandma Kate’s blessing.” Jackson’s voice was full of good humor.

“I’m not making any predictions or assumptions.”

Jackson laughed. “You don’t have to.”

“I wish it was that easy.”

“According to Grandma Kate, sometimes it is. Will you tell her that we called?”

They finished up the phone call and Travis grimaced when he took a sip of his coffee only to find that it was ice cold.

He went back inside and put her phone on the desk and reheated his coffee. Checking the clock, he grinned and looked into the refrigerator, which was fully stocked.

“I did promise Nika I’d make breakfast.”

Chapter Eleven

Veronica awoke lying on her stomach and blinked several times. She looked around the room, completely disoriented. According to the bedside clock, it was six thirty but she wasn’t sure which six thirty it was.

When she stretched and yawned, she became aware of several things simultaneously. She was sore in some places she hadn’t ever been sore in, her legs and shoulders were stiff, and as she moved her arms, they slid over something cool and silky. Lifting her head, she saw the black satin ties. The memories rushed back all at once as her head bounced on the bed.

Hank and Travis. Her eyelids slid closed and a soft, replete sigh left her lips as she rolled over, rather enjoying the stiffness in her muscles and the ache in her pussy.

Travis stood in the door watching her, his arms crossed over his beefy chest and a smile on his face. His eyes traveled all over her body like a warm caress and her nipples hardened to tight peaks instantly.

“Good morning.” That husky voice filled with sensual knowledge was the sweetest sound she’d ever heard.

“I slept all night?”

Travis entered the room and climbed onto the bed until he was on top of her, pinning her down. “Yup. Hank left a while ago but he kissed you before he did. I made you breakfast but first I want a kiss.”

She slid her hand over her mouth. “You probably shouldn’t do that. I’m sure I have morning breath.”

“Well, I have coffee breath so who cares.” He pulled her hand aside and laid his lips on hers, his kiss starting out slow and easy before going deep and ravenous, until the ache in her pussy turned into an all-out burn. She’d never known a master of the art of being both rough and gentle at the same time. Now she knew two.

“Holy moley, you can kiss me like that any time you want.” She stroked his wide shoulders and slid her fingers into his hair. “Good morning. Did you say you made coffee?”

As he lifted off of her, she felt the thick ridge of his erection rub over her mound through his blue jeans, and then his body heat left her and she remembered she was naked. She tried to grab the sheet but he chuckled playfully and shook his head. “Uh-uh. Naked. Remember? And yes, I made you a fresh pot. Want a cup?”

“How about the whole pot?”

He chuckled as he walked back down the hall. She hightailed it to the bathroom and brushed her hair and her teeth and took care of business. She nearly put her robe on but then smiled at herself in the mirror. She didn’t feel quite as self-conscious as she had the day before.

He surprised her by bringing a tray into the bedroom so she could eat in bed. While they fed each other bites of pineapple, scrambled eggs, pancakes, and bacon, he explained to her about accidentally accepting a call from Cord and Jackson earlier that morning. He looked a little apologetic as he explained the conversation he’d shared with both of her brothers, as if he was worried that she’d be upset. If it involved Cord and Jackson, she knew it would go no further.
